Jim McCracken wrote, "Several years ago I met Larry McCallister. We spent two weeks at Fort Dix, New Jersey. Never in my life have I ever been entertained by a person in my life. Larry would tell stories that left you laughing. Over the years I saw Larry quite often and he always knew me by name always smiling and always willing to help."
